Windows maintains a registry of all known hardware installed in your
computer. Inside this hardware registry Windows keeps track of all of your system
resources, such as I/O locations, IRQ levels, and DMA channels. The "Add New
Hardware Wizard" utility in Windows 95 was designed to add new hardware and
update this registry.
An "INF" configuration file is included with the ESC-100 to allow easy
configuration in the Windows 95 environment. Also a custom Windows serial device
driver is included with the ESC-100 to support the use of the 16750 UART's 64 byte
FIFO. Windows uses the "INF" file to determine the system resources required by the
ESC-100, searches for available resources to fill the boards requirements, and then
updates the hardware registry with an entry that allocates these resources.
